Rarely does a property of this nature come onto the local market! Believed to date back to the mid 19th century, when it was built as a Lock Keepers Cottage, the property enjoys an idyllic location to be able to enjoy the passing barge boats as they work their way through the lock and meander their way down the canal. The property has been carefully restored over recent years, and is only a matter of a few hundred yards from Littleborough station and village centre. The accommodation, which is over three levels, has a wealth of charm and character and briefly comprises lounge, dining room, newly installed kitchen, conservatory, three bedrooms, modern, newly installed shower room and a beautiful canal side garden. Superbly presented both inside and out, we recommend this property for an early viewing, especially to those looking for something just that little bit different or it would make a fabulous holiday home!
